Medical

Make sure that emergency first aid is given immediately.

• Summon the nearest person responsible for first aid in your area.

Do not move the patient if they have any serious injuries.

Summon an ambulance if necessary (have the following information available):

1. Exact location
2. Nature of injuries
3. Number of casualties
4. Kind of assistance that is required
5. Name of person reporting

Inform Campus Security 021 650 2222 / 3 (they can call emergency services for you).

Record patient details and all first aid that is administered. (First aid kits are available at all security control rooms).

Be available to hand patients over to the emergency services or medically trained persons.

Please report any incident that happens on the campus to CPS - even if there is no injury or damage. UCT will need to investigate the incident in order to prevent a similar occurrence. The Safety Representative must complete a report form (HS02) and forward to the S.H.E. Department
